Applioatlon led May 3, 1819. Serial No. 294,561.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DAVID Ossnr, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borou h of Manhattan, in the county and State o? New York, have invented a new and Improved Iron-Stand, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an iron stand, and aims more particularly to provide a device of this nature which will render it impossible for the clothes o erated on, or the hands of the operator, to )ecome burned by coming in contact with the -exterior surface thereof, even although a very hot iron is supported thereon.

A further object of this invention is the provision of an iron stand which shall include heat-insulating structure, which is accomplished by means of permittinga free circulation of air through its parts.

A still` further object of this invention is the prpvision of an iron stand `including heat-insulating qualities, which are pro- 4vided by' means of suitable partitions which will confine the heat to certain surfaces only.

And a final object'of the invention is to provide an iron stand which shall be ex tremely simple in construction and, consequently, economical in cost of manufacture.

Reference is had to the accompanying` drawings which illustrate one practical embodiment of my improved stand, andiin whichi Figure 1` is an elevational View of the same applied to an ironing stand;

Fig. 2 is a sectionalV front elevation through such iron stand;`

gig. 3 is a sectional side view of the same an Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the suppor base member of the stand.

In these various views like reference numerals designate similar parts, and the reference, numeral 1 indicates a supporting column, which may include drawers 2 for the reception of moisteuing cloths, pressing cloths, etc. Mounted upon the upper end of this column 1 is a plate 3 having its side edges bent downwardly, as indicated at 4, all such downwardly-bent portions being formed with openings 5 through which are adapted to project securing means, such as screws (i, for retaining the plate 3 in applied position upon the column 1. In addition to the openings 5, one of the downwardly bent longitudinal side edges is formed with additional openings which receive securing means, such as bolts and nuts 7, which are adapted to maintain in applied position a hinge 8 having secured to it the ironing board 9.

The plate 3 is formed with slits extending through it, for a urpose hereinafter more fully specified; andl mounted upon the upper surface of the plate 3 is an inner wall which extendsalong the two longitudinal edges of the stand and the rear of the same and is provided with tongues 11 adapted to project through the; slits 12 and to engage the underside of the plate 3. l wish it understood that the inner wall may be made up of a suitable number of sectlons, if so desider, or that the saine may be stamped from a single piece of metal and bent so as to produce the finished contour desired. The upper edges of this wall are bent outwardly and downwardly and forni an outer wall 13 which has its lower edges formed with tongues similar to tongues 11, such as indicated by the reference-numeral 14, project'- ing through slits 15 formed through the plate 3.

Interposed between the inner wall 10 and the outer 'wall 13, adjacent the hinges S, there is )rovided a partition wall 1li which extends rom the portion of the inctalbridging between the upper ends of the walls 10 and 13 to the upper surface of the plate 3, this partition wall 16 being also provided with tongues 17 which project through slits f Nesting 1() is an iron-sup`` 18 formed through the plate 13. between the inner walls porting plate 19 which extends above and i spaced relationship io the plate 3, its inne end being bent downwardly, as inditat-e' the reference numeral 20, and tcriiiii-iatrn" 1n tongues 21 projecting through sl'itlfZQ l the plate 3. Its front end, lreweieergsbeit upwardly, outwardly, and fddwarwardlygi indicated by the refereneeinumersil123,*aiid also terminates in tono'susilr whiclrpr'ject through slits 25 whereliywtnetainthis Iriarte 19 in applied position. A certain portion of the lowerniost edge of the part 23 is cut away, as indicated by the reference numeral 26, so that this portion will be spaced from the plate 3 to provide for the circulation of air therebetween. Supporting ribs 27 extend from the outer end of the plate 19 to a point short of the inner downwardlybent end of the plate 19. The lower yedges of these ribs 27 are formed with tongues 28, which also projet-t throu h slits 29 formed thrc'iugh the plate 3. referebly formed through the iron-sup orting plate 19, the in` ner walls 10, und tlie portions projectin between the upper edges of the inner im outer walls, are openin which vary in Isize, the plate 19 being ormed with ings` 30, which are larger than openmgs 31 formed -through the inner tending between the upper edges walls 10 and the outer walls 13.

The value of this invention will he perceived in View of the fuel' that the hand of the operator and the riot-.lies operated upon nould normally come in houlzurl. with the outer well 13, which. as it will e appreciated, would never retain any ,great degree of heut, in View of the pute i-.im--mling between the innci und outer wells, together uh the insulating puitiiion therebetween, as well n?. the openin,f f, providing for u free circulation of air throughout this' wall. The sume could be said to u lesser extent of the reur walls of the stand and the outer walls thereof, this limitation being;r included in view of the fact that these Walls are not aorestated, the clothes and hands of the operator would most likely come in Contact with this Wall.

It will further be seen that by virtue of the raised end portion of the plate 19, slipping of the iron from out its eliectually prevented. Further, the supp ing ribs 27 prevent any sagging on the part of the plate 19 and also perfectly retain this plate spaced from the plete so that n free circulation of air by means o1' the openmgs 30 and the cut-away port-im: 2? is provided for; this function being further insured by reason ofthe fact tlmt'the ribs 27 terminate short of the rear wall ofv the plate 1S), thus allowing a free circulation of air around their rear: ends.

Finally the various sizes of the openings 30, 31 and 32 make it possible forl Just the proper amount of all' to be circulated Vthrough the stand without the strength of the same being sacrifice It is' to be appreciated that any number of vurihtions in structure may be resorted to without in the least departing from the scfpe of my invention.

aving now described my invention, what desire to claim is:

1. An iron' stand, including a ironsup:orting plate above and in spaced relations ip to said wells extend' tudlnal edges of such supportin plate, and outer wells] to the upper edges of ate. including s plete, an above and in spaced relationship to said first-named plate, and low side walls extendin around the rear and longitudinal edges o said supporting plate, one of the longitudinal side wells be partition extending from said plate upwardly ndpicent the edges lute, und ribs interposed between the first-named plate and the l iron-supporting plate.

An iron stand, including a. plate. an iron-supporting plete above and in spaced relationship to said plate, walls extending plate upwardly adjacent the edges lute, and ribs interthi lirst-nzmied plete.

"iA An iron stand, including n, plate and an iron supporting plate above and in spaced relationship to such riln.tc,suol1 iron-Support ing plate having 1. outer edge bent upwardly. olufuarfliy, :md downwardly, a. cer tain portion of lne lowermost edge ol Asaid supporting piste being cut away, whereby this portion of the iron-supporting plate permits :i space to exist between the plate and suliporting plate.
